The visitors were special guests for an announcement of a new $100,000 USDA Rural Business Development Grant for Mississippi State’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Outreach to open a makerspace in Downtown Starkville. The new makerspace will fill a critical need in providing prototyping capacity to area entrepreneurs.
